transcription
In living cells, the process by which the information for the synthesis of a protein is transferred from the DNA strand on which it is carried to the messenger RNA strand involved in the actual synthesis.
It occurs by the formation of base pairs when a single strand of unwound DNA serves as a template for assembling the complementary nucleotides that make up the new RNA strand.
transcription
| In music, the arrangement by a composer of a piece by another composer for a different combination of instruments. Liszt and Rachmaninov were famous for their transcriptions for piano, the playing of which required virtuosic skill. |
